“In this historic moment, I ask you to choose grace. Choose curiosity. Choose them until they become contagious. Together, we will flood the world with light and love,” said Williams.
The concert itself featured performances by a global collection of stars, including Williams with the Voices of Fire Choir, Maestro Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Karol G, Clipse, Teddy Swims, Jelly Roll, BamBam, Angélique Kidjo, Ariana Bergamaschi, Il Volo, and the Choir of the Diocese of Rome led by Maestro Marco Frisina.

Accompanying the performers was an aerial drone and light show by Nova Sky Stories, which featured imagery inspired by the Sistine Chapel.
A Meaningful Celebration
Grace for the World was performed to celebrate the 2025 Jubilee year and mark the closing of the third World Meeting on Human Fraternity, a conference held by the Fratelli Tutti Foundation to celebrate the strength of fraternity, offer the world a symbolic embrace, and renew the collective commitment to the protection of Creation.
